Description

Description: The RM2-5 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD2 molecule, an approximately 50-55kDa cell surface receptor expressed by all mouse lymphocytes. Expression of the CD2 antigen in the mouse differs from that of the human in that B lineage cells in the mouse from the pre-B cell stage to mature B cells express CD2. CD2 is a ligand for CD48 in the mouse and is involved in adhesion and activation of T cells.Applications Reported: The RM2-5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: The RM2-5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes and bone marrow cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.Filtration: 0.2μm post-manufacturing filtered.
